Hello all,

	Has anyone in the list successfully tried allowing ordinary
users to open privileged (< 1024) ports? We have a solaris 8 on sparc
machine running an (java) application that normally uses ports > 1024;
however a client requested the application to use privileged ports
instead.

	This resulted in the application failing to start as the port
that the application was trying to bind to was < 1024. I've looked for
methods/workarounds to allow this but have so far come up empty.

	I would appreciate any experiences or links that the list could
point me to.

	Thank you very much and best regards.

Randy
